Employment FAQ

The City of Florence posts job vacancy announcements on its website at florenceal.org, on Government Jobs, and the City of Florence Facebook page. 

The City of Florence only accepts online employment applications for job vacancies through Government Jobs. To apply online, you must set up an account with a username, password, and email address. Please keep your username and password for your future reference. Once your account is established, an online employment application can be created and submitted for available positions with the City. An online employment application must be submitted for each available position for which you choose to apply. A resume will not be accepted in lieu of a City online employment application. Online employment applications must be received by 5:00 p.m. on the closing date of the job vacancy announcement. Incomplete employment applications may be rejected. The City of Florence is an Equal Opportunity Employer. 

The Human Resources department is committed to assisting individuals with the online employment application process. If you need assistance, please contact Human Resources at 256-740-6084 or you may visit our office located at 110 West College Street Suite 107 Florence, AL 35630.

There are many factors which can affect how long it takes to fill a position with the City of Florence, for example: background checks, the hiring department’s schedule, drug screening or etc. However, it can generally take from 4 to 6 weeks after the closing date to fill a position.
